One of the other major changes is the relationship between Kirsty & Rory. It’s one of the few times where the movie does it better. Instead their leader is described as the Engineer, someone who doesn’t show up until the end & doesn’t really affect the story at all. Where as in the movie, Pinhead was the central Cenobite here he is only mentioned in a brief description of the group.
While the human characters remain the same (Frank, Julia, Rory & Kirsty) the Cenobites are noticeably different. If the Hellbound Heart sounds familiar that’s because it’s was adapted into one of Clive Barker’s best horror movies to date, Hellraiser. When Rory cuts his hand & bleeds on the spot where Frank was taken by the Cenobites, it gives Frank chance to escape the creature’s realm but he needs Julia’s help with offerings of blood something she is more than happy to do. Their marriage is far from happy as Rory is obsessed with her looks & Julia had an affair with Frank just before she got married. Sometime later, Rory who is Frank’s brother & his wife Julia move into the house in England that Frank was occupying when he summoned the Cenobites. Unfortunately for Frank the Cenobites can not see the difference between pleasure & pain. They offer Frank experiences like he’s never had before so he agrees. He calls forth the Cenobites but is shocked to see that their bodies have been twisted & abused to such an extent.
His pursuit of pleasure has left him searching for more extreme experiences which is how he comes into possession of the Lament Configuration.Ī puzzle box that’s origins are a mystery, it is said to act as portal to another realm inhabited by the Cenobites, members of an ancient religious order dedicated to extreme forms of pleasure.įrank, believing them to be able to satisfy his needs returns to England & sets about opening the box (not an easy task). Frank Cotton is tired of life, feeling unfulfilled after years of hedonistic behaviour.
